Odyssey Atlanta

Odyssey’s mission is to expand the ambitions of Atlanta students and empower them on a successful journey to college and a fulfilling career. Odyssey partners with the Atlanta Public Schools to serve 380 students in grades 1-12 from under-resourced communities. The program targets “middle third” students: those students who may need the extra push, the nurturing environment, and the sense of community that a multi-year program like Odyssey can provide. Odyssey’s academic enrichment program focuses on students with unmet potential, preparing them for high school graduation and supporting them on their path to college. We offer a six-week educational summer experience focusing on STEAM (science, technology, art, engineering and math-grounded in project-based learning. All transportation, supplies, meals, field trips and college tours are provided for a nominal $35 registration fee. Odyssey’s cost per participant is approximately $2,500 per year. Over its thirteen-year history, Odyssey has developed a reputation for being an outstanding summer program delivering tangible academic results to 1000s of young people and their families.
